As has been mentioned by numerous people in numerous spots on this blog, the Titans have officially agreed to terms with former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Chris Simms. His career numbers:

G Rating Comp Att Pct Yards TD INT
19 71.2 291 492 59.2 3087 12 17

I am not real sure that Simms is a better option than Ingle Martin, especially when you consider that Martin knows the playbook, but this is the direction the Titans have decided to go. I am glad to see Simms over Joey Harrington and Quinn Gray.

Now we know what they have. Tonight and tomorrow we will wrap-up the Jags coverage and start to look towards the Bengals.

I think it's weird that the Titans let a guy go who they know, and pick up a dude who hasn't played in 2 seasons...and we passed on that guy.

I wonder which staff knows something that the other doesn't??

you tee-d that one up..

Seeing as how they were happy paying Vince Young a lot of money to play QB, and happy to go into the season with only Young and Collins on the roster, I'd say they know very little about quarterbacks.

I'll say this.

Jeff Fisher and his staff developed Steve McNair.

Herman ****ing Edwards and his staff developed Chad Pennington.

Who do you think did the better job, and by extention, knows more?

I'll take Jeff Fisher for $1000 Alex.

Edwards did a better job developing Pennington as a QB. Edwards couldn't keep him helathy though.

When the **** does Jeff Fisher lose his job
Pacman #6 over all -bust
Vince Young #3 over all

Actually, Paul Hackett has a pretty good reputation as a quarterback coach.

Unfortunately, Herm seems to delegate a lot less to his OCs here than he did in NY. We saw virtually the same offense last week as we did last year, and that offense is not the Vermeil/Saunders/Solari offense or the Gailey offense, it is the Herm Edwards offense, and it sucks.

Titans keep winning each year.

Wasn't it the owner that wanted Vince Young over Matt Leinart?

105-93
woohoo

It's funny you say that, because he's barely over .500 as a coach.

And he has 5 winning seasons out of 14.

But he's great if you like 8-8.

The Titans released back-up quarterback Chris Simms on Saturday to make room for punter Josh Miller.

Simms, signed by the Titans on Sept. 10, is expected to be re-signed early next week. The Titans signed Miller for Sunday’s game at Baltimore in case Craig Hentrich, who was troubled by back spasms this week, is unable to play.


The move paves the way for Vince Young to be the No.2 quarterback against the Ravens, behind starter Kerry Collins.

Simms served as Collins’ back-up for three games while Young recovered from the knee injury he suffered in the season opener. Young returned to practice this week and looked good enough to convince coaches he could be available in a back-up role.

As for Hentrich, he did not participate in Friday's practice, but punted before practice and said his back spasms were “totally gone.” But the team has some concerns because he was so uncomfortable all week.

Miller spent time with the Titans last season and was in training camp with them this year. He spent eight seasons with the Steelers and three with the Patriots before his brief stint with the Titans last season.
